I eat breakfast in my car during my 40 minute work commute every morning. Call me boring, but I rely on toast. I buy low cal whole wheat Healthy Lite bread, two slices for one point. I have found that the whole wheat keeps me satisfied for longer. I use Brummel and Brown yogurt spread, one point per tablespoon, or Peanut Wonder Peanut Butter, one point per tablespoon. One tablespoon is enough for a light coat on both pieces. This is a low point breakfast that is actually quite filling. In addition, around 10 every morning, I have a piece of fruit. On the weekends, I make up for my puny weekday breakfasts!

The following chart list foods that have about the same amount of calcium as 1 cup (or serving) of milk or yogurt. When choosing these foods be sure to count the Points values toward your Daily Points Range.

So I think by the letter of the law the program says only these foods count as milks, but many people say they can't do the milk so calcium from other sources is better than none. I try really hard to get real milk servings in even though I'm lactose intolerant. I use lactose free milk and don't have too many problems with it.

Hrm. I've heard that the "milk" in the cereal bars doesn't count as a milk? There may not be truth to that, but it was being discussed in another one of the groups on here. [img]graemlins/ugh.gif[/img]

Well, some may not agree with me, but I like Balance Bars. They are about 5 points apiece and they hold me for several hours. They also taste good and are totally portable! I've also been known to grab a hard boiled egg and a piece of fruit on the way out the door. The egg helps stave off hunger longer than just fruit or fruit and cereal. I've started keeping boiled eggs in the fridge for quick 2 pt snacks too. When I'm home I like oatmeal or other hot or cold cereals, and fruit with a cup of milk.

A good breakfast I have had, and its super filling........Breakstone Cottage Doubles (3 pts)
and 1/2 C of Fiber One Cereal (0 pts). Its crunchy and fruity and when I eat this at 8 am
I am still not hungry by 12 !! I was told that the Fiber one cereal has points. I checked the box and the serving size is 1/2 cup and it came out to zero points. I did it on my electronic calculator to be sure. If its supposed to be a point, someone let me know. Thanks.
